# Morphing Text — primitive for text reveals (react)

> **For AI agents:** find the right skill in one call — `curl -s "https://skills.varg.ai/api/search?q=<what the person wants>"` returns the matching use case and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://skills.varg.ai/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add `.md` to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the use-case page.

One word morphs into the next: shared letters glide into place while the rest blur out and rise in

## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Animate UI's Morphing Text (https://animate-ui.com/docs/primitives/animate-ui/morphing-text, MIT + Commons Clause) for a word that keeps changing in a tagline ("Fast → Accessible → Animated"). `npm install @animate-ui/react motion`, then <MorphingText text={[…]} loop />, set big and centred. Letters both words share slide to their new place on a spring (stiffness 300, damping 30); the others blur out in 150 ms and the new ones rise in over 300 ms, 12 ms apart. Motion runs these on wall-clock time, so for the render lay each morph out on the frame: hold for holdDelay, then drive the slides with Remotion's spring({ frame, fps }) and the fades with interpolate, or rebuild them as a paused GSAP timeline in HyperFrames. Tune holdDelay to the edit's beat.
